I thank the witnesses for coming this morning. It is great to see them. I thank them for the opening statement, it was really helpful and gave a good overview faced by the IRHA and its members.

I want to follow up on a couple of things. I was listening to what was said with regard to the tolls rebate. Hauliers are supposed to get a 10% tolls rebate. That is there because we want to encourage hauliers onto motorways to make sure they are using the bigger roads in order to keep our roads moving and keep us all safe. We need that rebate system to actually work and to reach hauliers. What is the Department's reaction when the IRHA highlights this issue?
